Cyclops Fest, a celebration of the craft culture and community, is back.

The Yellow Springs festival celebrating handmade items took a break last year but now, in its 7th year, festival organizers say the festival will be the best yet “with more to see, hear, taste and experience.”

“We’ve realized that if anything came out of taking the last year off, it was that both our passion for this culture and our inspiration to connect the entire community is stronger than ever,” organizers said in a press release.

The festival, which will be held Saturday, Sept. 8, will feature DIY (do-it-yourself) culture, independent makers, indie vintage sellers, food trucks including Zombie Dogz, Rock Stop N Roll and Cookie Mayhem. There will also be a Funnel Cake Station, and a beer garden featuring Yellow Springs Brewery.
